Bill Establishing Same Reported

provision
is Made To Prevent Concen
tration of Funds In the Money Cen
ters of the East—All Money-Order
Offices Depositories.
Washington.—The posUl • savings
bank bill, drafted by Sen£ltors Carter,
Doliver and Owen, a ’Sub-committee
of the committee on postolHces and
post roads, has been perfected and by
Cart©r introduced in the senate*
It was referred to the po^toffice com
mittee and probably-will be reported
bacK to the senate.
The bills originally intrcfduced on
this subject were considered with
great care and a large number of
changes were made. Particular atten
tion was given to a scheme ^ to pre
vent the concentration of postal de
posits in the money centers of the
east. This objection to the eetablish-
ment of postal savings banks has been
met by a provision allowing banks re
ceiving the postal funds for safekeep
ing to give indemnity bonds in lieu ot
collateral security, which obviates the
necessity of banks going to bond cen
ters to purchase tike securities re
quired by the gorvernment.
The bill provides that there shall
t)e established a system of postal sav
ings depositories under the snporvis-^
ion and direction of a board of trus
tees, consisting of the secretary of
tlie treasury, thi postmaster-general
+he attorney-general acting ei-
officio.

als, the amoxint of extra expense in
cident to the postal savings bank

to issue money orders and such
others as the postmaster-general
may designate, are declared to be

FIGHT ON HOUSE RULES.
Success, It Is Said, Depends Largely
on the Democrats.
Washington.—The fight (o amend
the rules of tife house by increasing
the membership of the rules commit
tee from five ta twelve will probably
come within the next ten days, it was
stated by the Insurgents. The sue-,
cess of the movement depends largely
on the attitude of' the Democrats.
The insurgents claim 60 votes on the
Republican side of the house. >
The Democrats are giving some
consideration to the proposition sub
mitted , by the insurgents. Many
Democrats are in favor of the pro
posed change, while others deem it
unwise. The large vote claimed by
the insurgents Is attributed to the
growing feeling among New England
and Western Republicans against the
speaker, who still declines to give
any sign that he will retire from the
leadership of the house. The presi
dent is said to have given his ap
proval to the scheme.

tlie wheel when the launch was
Struck. According to his statements
